stychos··on Why don't more people use Linux
I didn't use Windows for more than a decade, but I don't remember a mess with the standard dialogs in it. Maybe with the Qt-based applications, which brings their crap everywhere.

Neomutt is not a GUI mail client, and from usual distributives-oob clients, kMail seems to be most performant.

DPI scaling works terribly everywhere in Linux if you have more than one monitor with different DPI, none of the most popular distributives has it fixed.

I understand you wanna say that Linux can be usable on a desktop with a jointer and a file, but my talk about usual people and what is wrong in it from their PoV. I love Linux kernel and how it behaves on servers, but it is a still crappy non-uniform zoo on desktops. Some strokes of light and unifying can be seen with the systemd, but it's not related to GUI yet, and even there it has some strong integration counterforces involved. Linux needs systemd for GUI.

stychos··on Why don't more people use Linux
For me it's still total immaturity everywhere in GUI and consumer hardware. The most performant mail client, kMail, cashes too much, when it has more than ten thousand of emails its performance is very bad it's preferences are somewhat crazy. Still a mess with DPI scaling. Still a mess with the mix of different KDE/Gnome/Qt styled applications everywhere. None of the modern distributions can turn off my monitor by DDC when entering dark mode after computer inactivity. I'l kee my hackintosh as long as i can, it handles hardware much more better than any other OS.
stychos··on Apple and iOS Are Falling Behind
Apple starting to be full of annoying bugs, that's very disappointing. My iCloud photos stop to sync completely and can't be re-enabled in any way. That's pity.

So dumb provocation, Try harder.
stychos··on The only tourist in Moldova
I don't know what that piece of old crap is doing now.
stychos··on The only tourist in Moldova
I don't care about governments, I born and living here. Those who don't like that can go fck themselves.
stychos··on The only tourist in Moldova
That what I mean above, most people don't speak "modern Ukrainian". Even the language itself drastically changed on TV just in years.
stychos··on The only tourist in Moldova
Ukrainians should pray to USSR because of active Stalin times ukrainization.
stychos··on The only tourist in Moldova
Sure, I just answered on the question if the person visited Crimea will be jailed in Ukraine.
stychos··on The only tourist in Moldova
I am living in Transnistria. Nice place btw.
stychos··on The only tourist in Moldova
I doubt most of Ukrainians knows Ukrainian language.
stychos··on The only tourist in Moldova
Nope. If they acknowledge you've been on 'occupied' territories, they will reject entry and prohibit it for 3-5 years.
stychos··on Ask HN: Is being a independent freelance web developer still feasible?
It's a little difficult to be aloner these times, need to force yourself to continue learning modern trends, because often your clients doesn't care about raising of your skill levels. But it's still possible.
stychos··on A 4-year-old can run errands alone and not just on reality TV
Maybe in US but not in eastern Europe. Speed limits and road restrictions are significantly hardened last two decades, as well as casualties per capita.
stychos··on A 4-year-old can run errands alone and not just on reality TV
That's wrong. Perpendicularly opposite arguments for the same questions are in the well-crowded cities in exUSSR eastern europe. It's just a result of masses controlling. By the fear.

Really fun article for those who had chance to grew in one of worst holes of the freshly decayed USSR at nineteens.
stychos··on ESO telescope captures surprising changes in Neptune's temperatures
Yep, that's all interplanetary warning due to fossil fuels.
stychos··on Satellite images show bodies lay in Bucha for weeks, despite Russian claims
As well clearly as a distance and positions between cars and body do not match satellite image.
stychos··on Satellite images show bodies lay in Bucha for weeks, despite Russian claims
What's the second image with the cars photograph proofs? Building on the left is of another form, cars on photo stays much closer - this can be seen by the nearly perpendicular wire between pillars nearly those cars, definitely not two buildings distance.
stychos··on Slovio, an international simplified Slavic language
This one looks much better.
stychos··on How low can you go? Running Ubuntu Desktop on a 2GB Raspberry Pi 4
What's going on to Linux? I remember my first linux installs, that was some Fedora 5 in 2007 and then Ubuntu, don't remember exact version. They worked blazingly fast comparing to WinXP. They had shiny cool bells and whistles everywhere: wobbling windows, rotating cube desktops, windows transparency by mouse wheel, etc etc. I could play Windows game faster than in windows via Wine. And all that was on a crappy cheap PC with ~512 Mb of RAM and chipset built-in video. Now I have a monster PC with two Xeon E5 v4 CPUs, 64 GBs RAM and an RX590. Gnome is lagging and has no more those bells and whistles. On the same FHD monitor. Now I prefer hackintosh.
stychos··on Dumb Password Rules: Shaming sites with dumb password rules
Thanks Microsoft and lot of other dumbs for not letting me use 'i' character in my passwords, because my email is i@...
stychos··on Fuck.com (1997)
If to speak about free domains, this problem can be an advantage.
stychos··on Fuck.com (1997)
Easy to handle, just use the rules of that time — single domain for single IP. Not applicable to v6 and dyndnses, but something like this can solve it.
stychos··on Leaked Video Shows Unidentified Objects Swarming Navy Warship
hm.. no, I asked to imagine more crazy thing — that all antiviral measures are so crazy not because of world govts are crazy but because they are training us for this invasion
stychos··on Leaked Video Shows Unidentified Objects Swarming Navy Warship
okay, now imagine that COVID-19 is just a global invasion training
